HELENE KRISTOFFERSEN
I’m from Rælingen in Norway. I’m skiing for Saint Michael’s College, and I’m going into my senior year. I’m very excited about being on the SYNC team this season and getting to work with such a cool brand and amazing people. Some of my goals this year are to make it to the NCAA Championship, as well as developing as a skier and athlete.
SAMANTHA TRUDEAU
I was born in Toronto but spent most of my life in Colorado skiing at Vail. I attended both Burke and GMVS for high school and am now a Junior at Dartmouth College studying Quantitative Science. When I’m not skiing or in school I love mountain biking and generally being outside. This season, I hope to continue scoring points for Dartmouth in each of the Carnivals and stay competitive on the NorAm circuit when the schedule allows it. I’m excited to work with SYNC again this season and this NCAA team provides a special opportunity to build friendships and a support system outside of our individual schools.
SOPHIA TOZZI
My name is Sophia Tozzi and I am from Jackson, Wyoming. I am going into my junior year at Middlebury. I am coming off an ACL injury from last December, so I am excited to get back into racing! SYNC has helped me immensely over the last couple of years, and I am super excited to be working with them again!
NOéMIE LONGCHAMPS
I am from Montreal, Canada and I am 19 years old. I attended Burke Mountain Academy for 11th and 12th grade. Last year, I took a gap year in France with Orsatus Ski Racing Team and I will now be attending Dartmouth College for my first year. For this season my goals are to bring a high level of skiing to the college races while also being able to perform at Noram races when I have the opportunity. I am thrilled to be a part of the NCAA SYNC Team and to be able to promote their high quality products. While being a part of the SYNC community I look forward to connecting with a greater group of elite athletes alongside the people working to support us.
ISAC HEDSTRÖM
I'm Isac Hedström, a computer science major going into my junior year at the University of New Hampshire, and I couldn't be more excited to represent SYNC Performance this season. Growing up in Åre, Sweden, skiing has always been a huge part of my life, and now as a member of the UNH team, I want to take my skiing to the next level. This season, my goals are to perform my best in the NCAA circuit as well as NorAms and to help my team achieve our collective goals. I’m stoked to be a part of the SYNC team because I know their gear and the quality it holds.
OLIVER MORGAN
I'm Oliver! I'm heading into my Senior year at Dartmouth College, attended Burke Mountain Academy for High School, and am from Hanover, NH. I'm psyched to be on the SYNC NCAA Team again and I'm really looking forward to representing SYNC at NCAA races this year, testing new products/apparel, and getting to know the rest of the team.
GRAY FLANAGAN
I’m from West Burke, Vermont, born and raised. I attended Burke Mountain Academy and after graduation spent 2 years at Green Mountain Valley School. I am going into my Junior year skiing for Saint Michaels College while studying engineering. My goal for this upcoming season is to make the most of the on snow time I get while also succeeding in my classes. This will be my second year on the SYC NCAA Team. Last year I had a great time getting to know the SYNC Team, testing gear, and representing the brand.
DOMINIC SHACKLETON
I’m 19 years old, and home for me is East Burke, Vermont, although I’m originally from the UK. I grew up skiing with Burke Mountain Academy, and I spent the last year in France with Apex 2100. This winter I’m excited to be back on the east coast for my first year at Middlebury College. My goal is to have some good results on the NorAm circuit, and qualify in every event for World Juniors. I’m proud to be on the SYNC NCAA team this year, there will be much less duct tape on my ski gear!
